Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Angel of Vengeance is a 1993 Taiwanese Exploitation Film starring Yukari Oshima and Alex Fong.Both a revenge thriller and whorehouse drama at the same time, Yukari Oshima stars as Lori, a triad enforcer and fighter who must bust her sister Betty after she was sold to a prostitution ring. Unfortunately for the audience, despite having Action Girl icon Oshima as the titular Angel, the movie decides to focus on Betty's fate as a prostitute and being pimped out to clients, while Lori tries her best to expose the syndicate's activities with the help of a cop, Inspector Wu (Alex), culminating into a fight scene against the syndicate's enforcers. Which is too little, and too late, because all that happens in the last 10 minutes of the movie.Can be considered a Spiritual Successor to Brave Young Girls, another whorehouse drama also starring Oshima, although in the other movie Oshima isn't related to the prostitute characters.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Advertised Extra: In a way, Yukari Oshima’s character, Lori, is focused in the posters, trailers, DVD covers and promotional materials, to the point of having the movie’s title referring to her character, but she was pushed to the sidelines for most of the movie and doesn’t get to have any action scenes (bar a really short Action Prologue) until the last 10 minutes. The fact that Yukari Oshima made 9 movies in 1993, including Lethal Panther, Angel Terminators, Beauty Investigator, The Avenging Quartet, and Super Cop 2 might have something to do with it. | |

Archer Archetype: Wu is exceptionally skilled with a bow and arrow, using them to ambush and kill machine-gun wielding mooks during his action scenes. | |

| Angel Of Vengeance / int_c76b215e | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Credits: The movie opens with a gang war, followed by Lori marching up to the mansion of a triad kingpin demanding for her sister where she beats up a bunch of thugs, before the opening credits segues into the film… which is then revealed to be a slow-paced whorehouse drama with barely any action for most of the second and third act. Thankfully the last ten minutes of the movie rectifies that mistake. | |

Action Girl: Lori, the titular Angel. Played by Yukari Oshima who allegedly spends two weeks on the set, given she was busy filming a bunch of other action movies the same time she’s making this film (see below). | |
